I tried AI art to get a deeper understanding of the idiots making it (local models only). It’s only slightly more complicated than you might be thinking. You could learn it all in a month, easy, and I’m including the stuff like controlnets and LoRAs that AI bros love to flex as the skill based part.

It’s complicated… I think if you put the time in it’ll be worth it, but if it works it works

The reason why I love using it in arguments against crypto bros is because it’s everything they claim to represent and want and they ignore it. It’s banned from exchanges

It doesn’t get better than cold hard cash, I will say monero avoids some pitfalls but it’s still a cryptocurrency

“Why do you hate fun”

The latest multiplayer spinoff did kinda under deliver, it was like 10-20 years out of date with multiplayer features.

Not bots just blue maga…

Here’s another angle though: the conversation goes from AI being the future to AI being a bad joke and a huge waste of resources. It becomes harder to push marketing for, it becomes harder to be in a meeting and raise funds with the word AI. We can refocus on the core issue of privacy and freedom.

There will be but nobody has published any yet :( the new gpt model is structurally completely different from nearly every other model, even some new ones

Bad news about the poison pill, autoregressive models like gpt image are immune to it for now

I highly recommend affinity for a photoshop or illustrator replacement, davinci resolve is probs the best recommendation for video. For compositing… I guess nuke or something but also blender has a pretty decent compositor

Maybe the real idiocracy was the libertarians we met along the way

They keep insisting it'll get better and... We're waiting

Blackjack and independent sex workers... Then again... How do you handle payments... It's Mastercard or crypto, and while I do like the security of something like monero... Fuuuuck crypto
